"Fridge cold gravy for biscuits. Was told there is no way to check temp (apparently because thermometers aren’t a thing)."

"A great secluded place off the main road."

"The staff was helpful and very friendly. Breakfast was early every morning and very tasty. This was important because I get off work at 5:00 am and I need to get to sleep early so I can work that night. Working nights I was put in a very quiet part of the motel. So mych appreciated. West Union is a small friendly little town that makes you at home from day one. "

"We are there right now. My 7 year old can’t sleep because it sounds like a herd of elephants running rampant through the halls. When we checked in the lady at the counter was friendly, but then I heard her talking about us to a coworker because we used a credit card. The room was clean. The Bartender/Waiter was amazing. The food was mediocre. The pool and hot tub are nice, but I think there was too much chlorine. I don’t understand why they have so many balls in the pool. It got out of hand and people who just wanted to swim were getting hit in the face. There was blood on the floor. We told the lifeguard who used a hose to clean it up. That is not how you clean up blood. But, I also don’t think it should have been her responsibility. The workout room was ok. The breakfast was not great, but we are still grateful for it."

"The hotel is very charming inside from the chocolate chip cookies and popcorn to the lemonade and coffee bar. They had a great selection of breakfast items too. The hotel has a selection of board games and a sitting area to play, which was fun!. A few negatives; bathroom floor was dirty, like the tile needed to be deep cleaned. The bathroom door does not stay open and slams shut. You need to have a door stop. The entrance of the hotel has no awning to provide some protection from the rain. The hotel rooms in the back of the hotel with a view of the Mississippi, showed a lot of liter and trash along the waterline of the hotel property. Also the attached Backwater Bar & Grill had live music which was a good time. Negative, you had to have a tab of $20 or more to use credit card, otherwise you needed to pay cash. The entire city seemed to be cash only! 😕 Very cute hotel and we plan on returning!"

"The staff were very friendly. Bedding wasn't the same as it was in the photos but it worked out just fine we had brought extra blankets in from the car. Breakfast was ok, not a lot of options but had a wonderful waffle and got back on the road. We would stay again if the in the area."

"Hotel reservation requests were not met. I made my reservation two weeks before my stay with a notation that the two rooms be adjoining. I even called the hotel directly to check that they could accommodate my request and I was assured that they would. Upon checking in I was told that two double queen adjoining rooms were no longer available. I was offered no compensation for the inconvenience and settled for rooms across the hall from one another. To make matters even worse the heat in one of the rooms didn’t work. The breakfast was lackluster at best. Find another hotel! "

"Hot tub was super!"

"The staff was extremely helpful and the breakfast was amazing! "
